41.212.201.22
"If the Koran is true, and if it is inspired by the same God as Christianity and Judaism, then it must agree with the Biblical doctrine regarding the Messiah."
Thats one way of looking at it.Another interpretation would be to accept the fact that the Bible has been altered hence there are some passages which are in conflict with the Quran.U believe that God inspired the whole Bible,i don t.
"It is interesting that, in the next passage, the Koran itself splits off God’s Holy Spirit in the same way that the Bible does. While Mohammad criticizes Christians for describing God as three, he himself has split off the Holy Spirit as a separate part of God. Thus Mohammad has recognized two of the three parts of the trinity."
that s an excellent question however before answering that i would like to make it out that this verse is not a claim from the prophet Muhammad(SAW) but from Almighty Allah.
here are a couple of other verses regarding the holy spirit:
"Say: The Holy Spirit brought it down from your Lord with the truth, to strengthen those who believe, and as a guidance and good tidings to the Muslims." (An-Nahl: 102)
"Then Allah will say, O Jesus son of Mary! Remember My favor upon you and upon your mother; how I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit…"(Al-Ma'idah: 110)
"And your Lord, He is indeed the August, the Compassionate. And it is a sending down from the Lord of the Worlds, brought down by the Trustworthy Spirit, upon your heart, that you may be one of the warners, in Arabic speech." (Ash-Shu`ara': 191-195)
From Hadiths:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed to Allah to strengthen the famous poet Hassan ibn Thabit with the Holy Spirit in composing poems in defense of Islam: “O Allah! Strengthen him with the Holy Spirit.” (Reported by al-Bukhari)
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) later on said about Hassan: “Verily Allah, the Glorious and Mighty, is strengthening Hassan with the Holy Spirit.” (Reported by at-Tirmidhi and Ahmad) “The Holy Spirit is with Hassan in his work!” (Reported by Abu Dawud)
The holy spirit mentionne is the angel Gabielsent by Allah.
"Say: He is God, the ONE and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this:'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
